That is not logical, since you are not Mahat-tattva obviously but His servant,

therefore das at the end.

You may put "Your servant" there to show your inclination to serve the devotee

too.

 

I do not have specific quotes on this (and no time to look for them), but Srila

Prabhupada mentioned both in his teachings.
